First Scuba Diving Centre in Padang Bai

Geko Dive Bali first opened in June 1997. At 18 years of age, it is the longest operating dive centre in Padang Bai. Geko Dive Bali is a PADI Resort since 1998 and became a PADI 5 Star Resort many years ago. This Bali dive operator is also a TecRec Technical Dive Centre!

We are fortunate to have one of Bali's best dive staff! The Geko Dive Team speaks Balinese, English, French, German, Spanish, Indonesian and Italian. There may be a bit of British, Australian and Thai here and there too. All of our dive guides are excellent divers, PADI Divemaster certified and fully insured, with years of working experience on Bali's numerous dive sites. For the Geko Dive Team, scuba diving remains a passion, first and foremost.

Fun Dive in Bali, Indonesia

Scuba diving should be a personal experience! We therefore keep small dive groups (4 max and often less), with similarly experienced divers together. We also limit ratios when you learn to dive and study for your PADI Open Water Diver Course or when you complete an introduction dive/Discover Scuba Diving program with only 2 divers to one instructor. Private PADI Scuba Diving courses are also available!

We believe all our guests deserve the ultimate diving adventure with utmost enjoyment and safety. Please tell us what you would like to see underwater. Be it a macro critter, like frogfish, rhinopia, siagiani squat lobster, ghost pipefish, orang utang crab, coleman shrimp, rhinopia, Spanish dancer or nudibranches, or a large animal, such as manta rays, reef sharks, turtles, mola-mola oceanic sunfish or pelagic fish, we will do everything we can to find it for you. We can't work miracles, but we certainly will try!

Free Nitrox in Padang Bai

Our standard Nitrox blend is 28%. This covers all recreational depths. Other mixes can be blended on request. We believe that diving Nitrox affords divers increased safety and better dives by increasing bottom time. This is why we offer our standard blend for free to all certified Enriched Air Nitrox divers.

Ocean kayaks are now available for rent at Geko Dive Bali. Both single sitters and double sitters sea kayaks can be rented in Padang Bai. This is a great way to experience Bali's seaside without getting your head underwater!

Green Dive Centre

We also strongly believe that scuba divers have a responsibility to the underwater world. This is why we do everything we can to help preserve and care for the environment in many different ways. Please see our conservation and education programs for more information.

Low Season Is The Best Season to Dive in Bali

Bali is reaching low season! This means more wet days and less people in the water. This is the perfect time for divers who like small groups, close interaction with fish, be they small or large, and even private tuition or guiding.

Macro critters, such as frogfish and pygmy seahorses, ornate and robust ghost pipefish, nudibranches and crustaceans, are thriving in Bali this time of year. Larger animals, like manta rays, sharks and turtles, can be approached more easily as there are less divers in the water. Plus, we still enjoy sunshine daily.

Don't spoil it by spreading the word too much, but now is the best time to dive in Bali

Webcam and Weather Station Gone Live!

The Geko Dive Team is proud to bring you East Bali's only weather station broadcasting live data over the Internet. This is a great addition to our massively popular webcam. Wind, rain, temperature, atmospheric pressure and even UV solar radiations: now you can be informed of all the weather trends in Padang Bai.

As for the webcam, the picture is updated every minute, night and day, 7 days a week. It is best viewed directly from our dedicated webcam and weather station page. Hope you enjoy this & keep on coming back!

Discover Bali´s Amazing Underwater Wildlife

Swim with manta rays. These beautiful creatures grace us with their presence all year long at Nusa Penida.

Come play with reef sharks. Although endangered in most places, whitetip reef sharks and even wobbegongs (in season) are still plentiful on our local dive sites and coral reefs.

New Statue Garden on Padang Bai's Reef

Padang Bai divers have been working hard to offer you a new dive site. They have already sank more than 18 statues in the hope of providing a new habitat for marine fauna and another exciting dive site for scuba divers.

All divers interested are welcomed to do their bit and contribute their own statues. Email Geko Dive for more info.
